Trusses designed and built under one roof

Most yards sell trusses. Stark designs them, engineers them and builds them in our own St. Catharines shop — so the people quoting your job are the same ones standing behind it.

What our design team handles

Four services, one point of contact

Roof truss design

Residential, commercial and farm trusses engineered to your plans — including the unusual roof concepts other shops turn away.

Engineered floor systems

Floor layouts with I-joists and engineered wood products, designed to meet structural requirements without fighting the architecture.

LVL beam design

Laminated veneer lumber beams sized and specified for your spans, ready to order from the same yard.

Lumber take-offs

Hand your plans over and get back a complete material list — counted by people who frame-count for a living.

The shop

From screen to sawdust

Designs go straight from our engineering software to the shop floor, where a computerized component saw and laser-assisted truss set-up keep every cut and every joint where the drawing says it should be.

Builders consult with us early to work out structural solutions for unique roof designs — we'd rather solve it on screen than on your site.

Send them over or drop by the yard — we'll take it from there.
